From the pennies come the dollars. My credit union has a coin counting machine that I can use for free.

You gotta prime the tip jar first.

Fun fact : the term "prime the pump" was first used by Donald John Trump in May 2017.

Correct! No less than $5 bills though. People are easily pressured into tipping with money in the jar. Learned that as a bartender.

Couple ones folded into a five

I always found that odd. When I see those type of bills in a jar I assume the establishment put them there

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Even if you think it came from the establishment, it still has an impact. They're setting an anchor amount, so you're still working down

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

from, say, $5. So you think $1 or $2 is adequate, which feels like much less. But if the $5 was never there, you may have been calculating

up from, say, $0.50. Then $1 would have felt higher. The impact across all the tipping events accumulates.

Do you mean you can use nothing smaller than $5 bills?

9 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

I'm advising to use nothing smaller than a $5 in your tip jar to "prime" it.

I usually did a bit of change and a few singles as a seed, and it worked well enough.

i've seen 2-3 fivers in a jar and thought "they seem like they are doing well enough, i'll keep it for a coke later" theres a fine line

9 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 0

Most coke does come in fine lines, yes.

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

Can confirm, always stiff the bartender to save for come later at night. Ya know Incase I get too drunk

If you don't bother with cash, you won't get money crumbs.

The exact reason there's a million charges on my card for under $5. Fuck change

You know they've done a few studies that budgeting and saving is easier when you use cash.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Really? Dude, find a better card plan or use a credit card.

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 6

Charges as in they spent <$5 a million times, not they have a fee for spending <$5
